Ingredients

375g ready-made sweet dessert pastry (or shortcrust pastry)

Flour, for rolling out

75g ground almonds

75g caster sugar

200g Asda Good for you Crème Fraîche

3 large free-range eggs

1/4 tsp vanilla extract

5 fresh figs

Method

1
Pre-heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/Gas 6. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface until it’s the thickness of a pound coin. Use it to line a 20cm flan tin. Prick the base, lay a piece of foil on the pastry and weigh it down with baking beans. Bake for 10 minutes then remove the foil and beans. Reduce the oven to 180C/160 Fan/Gas 4 and cook the pastry for a further 5 minutes.
2
Beat the almonds, sugar, crème fraîche, eggs and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour into the flan case.
3
Trim the figs, cut each one into 4 slices and arrange on top of the filling. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the filling has just set.
